The Guardian reports that Bud Chiles had to quit the race.
The son and namesake of former Florida Gov. Lawton Chiles Jr. dropped out of the 2006 governor's race Tuesday because does not meet the state's residency requirement.
Lawton "Bud" Chiles III, 51, said had not been aware the constitution requires a gubernatorial candidate to live in the state for the seven years before the election. He had announced his candidacy in January.
"I'm clearly a Floridian. Me and my family are Floridians and always have been and always will be. Yet there's this pesky little constitution and it says what it says," Chiles said in a speech to the Florida Alliance for Retired Americans.
NYPD Blue signs off tonight.
The drama based on the fictional personalities of New York's 15th precinct has seen actor Dennis Franz's Sipowicz character facing a transition from a working life on the streets to one behind a desk in its final season.
The 260th and last episode was to air in its regular Tuesday time slot, preceded by an hourlong retrospective special.[...]
David Caruso left after one season as Sipowicz's partner, John Kelly. He was followed by Jimmy Smits' Bobby Simone, Rick Schroder's Danny Sorenson and Mark-Paul Gosselaar's John Clark.
